Villa Tara

Loved the people, the rooms, the chairs, the balcony, the breakfast, the breadfruit tree, the pool, the peace of it all THANK YOU

wunderschönes Haus und Grundstück, tolles Personal und Atmosphäre. Es wurde wirklich alles getan, damit wir uns wohlfühlen. Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen!

nichts, alles war super!

Amazing staff who goes out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The hotel is so calm, really an oasis. Really good breakfast with absolutely amazing coffee (mocca), cannot praise it enough - would come back just for that!

A charming house with nice swimming pool, quiet location while being very close to the animation. A couple of incredible kindness. A good breakfast served in front of the pool. The juices are delicious. We take care of you here with sincerity. I highly recommend 🧡

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à Villa Tara avec notre fils de 2 ans. Le personnel était au petit soin, toujours prêts à rendre service. Tout était très propre, la chambre pouvait être nettoyée tous les jours si désiré. Notre chambre (ou plutôt mini appartement) comportait une petite kitchenette très pratique. Les lits étaient très confortables et bonnes moustiquaires. Au calme tout en étant proche du centre. Belle piscine bien entretenue. Le petit déjeuner est "à la carte", choix varié. Fruits délicieux. La plage est assez proche, l'eau est propice à la baignade et parfaite pour le snorkeling. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe pour ce merveilleux séjour, que nous avons d'ailleurs prolongé de deux nuits !

Все супер, тихо, комфортно, безопасно, очень дружелюбный персонал и конечно же его владелец, который был там тоже

Nettes kleines Hotel, etwas abseits der Hauptstrasse. Sehr ruhig, und dennoch nur ca. 300m von den Läden und Restaurants entfernt. Der Manager hat ein eigenes Tuk-Tuk und fährt die Gäste für wenig Geld an jeden Ort in Hikkaduwa. Alles war sauber.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel. Der Pool war sauber und angenehm, perfekt zum Entspannen. Die Atmosphäre im Hotel ist ruhig und gemütlich. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber, bequem und gut ausgestattet. Man fühlt sich direkt wohl. Das Personal war immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Besonders der Inhaber war sehr nett und hat sich gut um die Gäste gekümmert.

Für uns war alles super. Es gab nichts Negatives. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

great breakfast and fantastic staff!

Hikkaduwa is like a small Russian town, everyone is from Russia. But our hotel was an oasis and some of the beaches were very good.

Lovely set up around the pool area with well kept gardens. The staff were amazing and very accommodating and worked really hard. Quiet location but easy walk into beach area. Best coffee served at breakfast

Trevlig personal som löste allt vi behövde både med råd och praktiskt. God frukost. Svalkande pool om man inte vill ta sig den korta vägen till stranden. Önskar man lite större bättre strand med lite mer utbud rekommenderas att ta en tuktuk ett par min till narigama beach. Välfungerande ac och en stor kyl. Det fanns alltid varmvatten vilket inte är en självklarhet på sri lanka. Stor och fin balkong hörde till vårt rum! Trevliga restauranger inom 3-10 minuters promenad.

Dörr till rummet som var mycket svår att stänga utan att låsa på vårt rum, detta skulle nog ganska enkelt kunna åtgärdas.

Идеально было все. Мы жили в сьюте номер 3, можно было бы назвать отдельной просторной квартирой с огромной верандой. Все сделано с умом и заботой. Завтраки хорошие, яйца в варианте на выбор, йогурт, сосиска, фруктовая тарелка, чай, кофе. Сотрудники такие отзывчивые, добрые, запоминают ваши предпочтения, делают все, чтобы было комфортно. Нам нужен был доктор, сразу же вызвали , помогли с такси. На все просьбы реагировали моментально. На территории тихо, всего 5 номеров. Главная улица в 2х минутах, пляж - в 5. На деревьях видели белок и павлинов, летающих лисиц, а под крыльцом - мангуста) все утопает в зелени. Придраться не к чему, даже думали остаться подольше, но, к сожалению, места были забронированы. Расстроились, но не удивились)

- viel Platz im Zimmer (waren zu 3. in einem Zimmer da die Villa sehr ausgelastet war. War jedoch super machbar so, da unser Appartement sehr gross war). - sehr saubere Anlage & Pool - klein & familiär - in 5-10Min an der Hauptstrasse - sehr nettes & hilfsbereites Personal (haben nachgefragt was wir unternommen habe & wie es uns geht). - grosses Frühstück, konnte täglich neu bestellt werde - Aussendusche in unserem Apartement :)

Nichts, wirklich sehr empfehlenswert!

Идеально место - тихое и комфортное. Это лучшее место в нашем путешествии. Очень уютная территория, идеальный бассейн, просторные террасы, вкусные завтраки. Персонал великолепен, помогают по всем вопросам и очень радушные. Не хотелось уезжать. Обязательно вернемся сюда в следующих путешествиях.

Homely feel, nice pool, attentive staff. Close to shops restaurants but quiet.

All good.

A lovely, small property (5 rooms) with a pool. Family room was very spacious and had a nice, private courtyard area next to the pool. A 5-10 min walk to Turtle Beach and the adjoining sheltered bay - good for swimming. A 5-10 min tuk-tuk to get to the beach clubs, the nicer restaurant area (in my opinion) and the surfing beaches. Staff were very friendly and helpful, e.g. arranged for our laundry to be cleaned for a modest price. Breakfast was plentiful.

Nothing

Beautiful, large pool with quiet grounds. Our apartment was spacious with lots of storage space and the beds were comfy plus we liked the outdoor (but covered) shower. Big private patio area with a dining table and lounger. Sadly we could only stay one night but wish we could have stayed longer. Only a 10 min walk to the beach. Breakfast was great and the coffee nice and strong!

Nothing really. The rooms aren't fancy but that didn't bother us. The whole set-up is just lovely.

This was the perfect place to stay in Hikkaduwa and we liked it so much that we extended and plan to come back at the end of our trip. The location is a 5 minute walk from the main strip with restaurants and cafes and the beach so it's perfect to be close to it but with peace and quiet and no traffic noise. The room is well designed with wardrobes, safe, dressing table, lamps, good AC, fridge and a kettle - plus a big bathroom with hot water. The WiFi was really strong too. Breakfast was eggs (we recommend soft boiled), delicious toast (good quality bread) and fruit on your own little terrace. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can't go wrong if you want a peaceful place with a pool, still walking distance to all the action.

Could do with a couple more working plug sockets

Super service og rolig beliggenhed

Alt var fint

Einfach perfekte Ruhe an dem hektischen Ort.

Staff were amazing and always going above and beyond what was expected . Pool is beautiful had a home cooked meal there one night was the best dinner we had in Sri Lanka

What a great stay!! The best coffee we had in our 3 week stay around Sri Lanka, The owners are really helpful and friendly, he even called out a doctor for my Husband, which was much appreciated. The beds are comfy, the rooms are clean, it was nice having a separate room for my Son after alot of Sharing room space . The swimming pool was also a great bonus , we spent a lot of time cooling off around the nice pool area, most of the time we had to ourselves…. Would definitely recommend , loved our stay thank you!!

Stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed everyone of them. The location of Vila Tara is great just a few minutes walk from the mainstreet but at a quiet and peaceful area. The host Sissira and his family keep everything very well maintained and clean and they do their outmost to give a great service. The rooms were spacious and pool was great and breakfast was delicious and plenty. We would definitely recomment this place to other travelers.

No complains for Vila Tara everything was perfect

We stayed for 4 nights and the Villa could not have been more perfect. We loved the position which is 5 minutes walk from the busy road where all the bars and restaurant's are so its nice an quiet. The owner was also staying and asked us numerous time if everything was well and organised coffee more than once (best coffee ever). The manager and staff did everything we needed and they made a meal one night of traditional Sri Lankan cuisine, all I can say it was stunning. The manager also took us out for a day in his tuk tuk sight seeing up the coast which was well worth it and we went to a gem mine, lake cruise, tsunami museum and a turtle hatchery. I chose this villa after I read the reviews and after staying It only rubber stamped how good it is.

All was fine

The daily manager Sisira and his family and staff are the perfect hosts- they are professional and attentive, not intrusive and leave you to your privacy on your porch/balcony. The garden and the pool are beautifully kept and maintained. The location is perfect in the quiet backstreets off the busy main road, yet close to restaurants and the beach. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. We were so lucky that Sisira offered to cook dinner for us one night. If you get the offer, make sure that you say yes. He is a former professional chef, and the Sri Lankan food that he served for us on our porch was some of the best that we had on our trip. Needless to say, we highly recommend this place.

Fabulous place just off the beaten track and only 5 min walk to the beach and main hub of Hikkaduwa. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Villa and grounds kept clean, breakfast was plentiful and a great relaxing start to the day. Definitely recommend

Beautiful, charming, Understated elegance. Our stay was very relaxed and host Sisira and his family were the perfect hosts; incredibly helpful and the food was impeccable. The property is stunning with art and sculptures giving a real sense of luxury.

Nothing

Very beautiful property and facilities. Hosts were very warm and helpful. Very calm and secluded.

We only stayed one night, but would definitely go back.

We only stayed at Villa Tara for a night as the airport was our destination early the next day. We're so glad we spent our last night here! The owner welcomed us with open arms and provided a nice overview of the room and property. As it was the end of the main tourist season, we were upgraded to a suite without extra charge. The pool is beautifully maintained. As I mentioned earlier, we had an early start to the airport, so a breakfast was provided fort us extra early (5:30AM). While we did not explore Hikkaduwa, we liked that we were not so close to the main street provided peace and quiet.

Everything was great!

Loved everything! The hotel is clean and the pool was so nice. The bed was comfy and the AC really good. The location is good, just a small walk from the beach and shops and restaurants. The owner and the staff were all so friendly and helpful, such lovely people! We booked the room for one night but ended up extending for three and felt sad to leave. So if you are thinking about booking the place, do it! You won’t regret it :)

Lovely small hotel located in a quiet area of Hikkaduwa and walking distance to local restaurants and the beach. Sisira and his wife are incredibly welcoming and friendly and keep Villa Tara very clean and tidy. They serve a great breakfast, freshly made to order and with superb coffee. Very large bedroom with a comfortable four poster bed, large balcony (see note below) and a fridge. Nice swimming pool with sufficient loungers.

No kettle in the room. The description of the balcony should highlight that it is shared with a standard room next door = not totally private

Fantastic hospitality. Only a couple minutes walk to the main road, and a couple more to the beach. It's not quite cheap, but not bad considering other nearby options as well. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast options are also great. Highly recommend getting one of the second-floor rooms to enjoy the balcony.

It's hard to nitpick. More water pressure would've been nice, but it was the best of the three places I stayed in Sri Lanka. Also would be nice if there was a place to charge devices near the bed in the loft.

Lovely and friendly guys, the owner also came to speak to us and he was very friendly. All staff smiley and couldn't do enough for you, always looking after you as soon as you arrive. Hidden gem, close enough to facilities but far enough away to feel luxury.

Very nice accommodation, with a pool, very friendly staff and excellent breakfast with several options. Close to restaurants and the beach where you can see turtles.

A shower next to the pool would be nice (so you can wash your dirty feet from the beach). Everything else is perfect.

Newly built colonial style building in quiet location. Well designed envirioment with good taste. Very friendly good english speaking staff. Faience at breakfast was a nice surprice

Stay was just 2 nights

Amazing staff

Quiet and peaceful location but close enough to busy town, bus and train station. The people there are warm and welcoming and go out of their way to make your stay just right. The rooms are cool and comfortable, loved the gardens, the pool, the breakfasts and excellent coffee.

There was nothing we didn’t like. Villa Tata was a great find for us.

Great location staff are amazing could not do enough for you, so friendly and went out of their way to make the experience unforgettable.

Nothing

We checked in a bit late, but the rooms were ready and we were immediately checked in with no issues. We really loved how prompt and ready the hosts were!

This was our best stay for the duration of the holiday. The room was wonderful and our child enjoyed the pool and everything the place had to offer.

Location. Breakfast. Upgrade to better room - the room was huge, with a big balcony, big bed, other room with other bed, big bathroom, fridge. Nice pool - we didn't use as we went to the beach.

The bedroom has a spiderweb - it could be more clean.

Sisera, the manager, was very helpful and attentive. He also cooked us a delicious fish meal which was reasonably priced. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.

Leaving!

Ett litet hotell med precis lagom avstånd ifrån stranden. Det var låg beläggning på hotellet dom dagar vi var där så vi kunde använda poolen som vår egen! Den Lankesiska familjen som sköter om hotellet var väldigt trevlig och tillmötesgående.

Fantastico! Pulito, nuovo, a due passi dalla spiaggia di Unawatuna. Camere enormi con tutti i confort. Colazione enorme con un ottimo buffet di qualità. Personale gentilissimo. Ci torneremo sicuramente. Pulizia impagabile

We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. It was our first experience at Sri Lanka. The location of Villa Tara at Hikkaduwa city is optimal - in jungle forest but in ten minutes from the beach also. Property is in fine condition and professionally managed. You will be provided with a top quality guest service. Also you feel yourself like living in jungles absolutely alone as villa is not crowded and the staff appears only when needed..... Full breakfast is served at the villa pool area and it is fantastic ! It consists of all kind of omelettes ( Sri Lanka style omelette is highly recommended ), sausages, toasts with jam, plate of cut fresh exotic fruits, fresh juice from mango, banana and papaya of a mixture of it, Ceylon black tea or Italian style coffee from local melted coffee beans.... Staff at the site is very helpful and is ready to fulfill any your request at day or even night time. Because of staying at this place our impressions about Sri Lanka are so great that we will come to this island one more time and for sure stay at this place!

Located just off the main street, about a 5 minute walk. Rooms are nice and clean, albeit a bit small. Very good service, Villa staff will go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay. Would recommend.

Wir waren mit unserem Aufenthalt rundum zufrieden. Sehr freundliches Personal in einer schönen privaten Atmosphäre.
